◆第一關:看比較的對象是否一致
在進行比較時,一定要注意前后比較對象要一致,即人對人、物對物。例如:
1.我的書比Tom的多。
誤:My books are more than Tom.
正:My books are more than Tom’s.
2.冬天北京的天氣比上海冷。
誤:The weather of Beijing is colder than Shanghai.
正:The weather of Beijing is colder than that of Shanghai in winter.
◆第二關:注意比較級的修飾語
very,so,quite,too等詞是用來修飾原級的,不能用來修飾比較級。比較級前通常用much,a little,even,far,a lot,still等詞來修飾。例如:
1.這座橋比那座橋長得多。
誤:This bridge is very longer than that one.
正:This bridge is much longer than that one.
◆第三關:比較范圍要合乎邏輯
在同一范圍內進行比較時,一定要把比較的主體排除在比較的對象之外。例如:
1.中國比亞洲的任何國家都要大。
誤:China is larger than any country in Asia.
正:China is larger than any other country in Asia.
試比較下面這個句子:
2.中國比歐洲的任何國家都要大。
China is larger than any country in Europe.
◆第四關:比較級前的冠詞的用法
比較級前通常不用冠詞,但當形容詞比較級后接of短語時,或者比較級是用來修飾名詞的,前面要加上冠詞。例如:
1.Tom是這兩個中比較高的。
誤:Tom is taller of the two.
正:Tom is the taller of the two.
2.我要選擇那個比較便宜的。
誤:I’ll choose cheaper one.
正:I’ll choose the cheaper one.
◆第五關:比較等級之間的相互轉換
形容詞、副詞的三個比較等級之間可以互換。例如:
a.與原級之間的互換
1.Science isn’t as interesting as English.(同義句)
Science is less interesting than English.
b.與最高級之間的互換
1.Tom is the tallest in his class.(同義句)
Tom is taller than any other student in his class.
◆第六關:比較級的幾個固定結構
a.當表達“越來越……”的含義時,要用“比較級+and+比較級”或“more and more+原級”結構。例如:
1.我們學校越來越美了。
誤:Our school is getting more beautiful.
正:Our school is getting more and more beantiful.
2.他跑得越來越快。
誤:He ran faster.
正:He ran faster and faster.
b.當表達“越……,就越……”的含義時,要用“The+比較級+……,the+比較級……”結構。例如:
1.你越仔細,犯的錯就會越少。
誤:You are more care
